Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Small amount marking due to age. Pages in good condition. No notes or highlighting. Softcover. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> Each scoopful of coal wasted represents about two cents burned up or thrown away unnecessarily. Fifty scoopfuls wasted on a trip represent just as much of a loss as would occur if the treasurer of the company tore up and threw away a one-dollar bill. On every railroad the problem of fuel economy is largely in the hands of the engineers who operate the locomotives. If an engineer is interested in this subject and insists on his fireman firing according to correct prin- ciples, fuel will be saved on each trip. An employe owes it to his company to do this. On the other hand an engineer, who allows his fireman to waste fuel unnecessarily, not only causes unnecessary expense to the company.

Cloth. Condition: Near fine. From the personal collection of Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison, Ph.D., Paul Jones: Founder of the American Navy by Augustus C. Buell, inscribed and annotated by Morison. (illustrator). Later Edition. Octavo, [two volumes], xv, 328pp; vii, 379pp. Blue cloth, title in gilt on spines, illustrated gilt medallions stamped on front covers. Top edge gilt. Held in custom acetate dust jackets. Solid text blocks, some pages unopened, light rubbing to corners, bookseller's label on front free endpaper, both near fine examples. Inscribed by Morison on front free endpaper of Volume I: "S.E. Morison / I bought this fake biography just for the pleasure of annotating the fake parts in red. It is one of the most dishonest biographies ever written." Morison continues through the text with various notes on nearly every page, with comments like "fake," "pooh" and "never happened." Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison (1887-1976) was a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and a 1964 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Morison is best remembered for his 15-volume set titled "History of United States Naval Operations in World War II" and biographies of Christopher Columbus and John Paul Jones. His biography of Jones was inspired by all the faults he saw within this work written by Augustus C. Buell, a controversial author who frequently plagiarized and fabricated his biographies.
